Paresh Rawal dons an edgy avatar for Table No 21

Guaranteed to send chills down your spine, actor Paresh Rawal is set to shock audiences with his all-new look in the forthcoming thriller Table No 21. After several look tests, the high-concept thriller, a twisted tale of inexplicable mystery, sees the veteran actor sport a shaved head, with heavy brows and an intense grimace to play a key role in the film, details of which are tightly being kept under wraps.

A source reveals, "Paresh was keen on experimenting with his look for the film and wanted to do something novel and edgy since he felt it would suit his character. Though much cannot be revealed about his role in the film - Paresh Rawal plays a pivotal character for which several look tests were done prior to the shoot of the film."

Producer Viki Rajani confirms, "For the kind of film Table no 21 is, we wanted, Pareshji to really spring a surprise on the audience with a never-seen-before look. In fact, Pareshji being the professional, was more than willing to experiment and I think that has worked splendidly in support of his character in the film."

However, Table No 21, which is produced by Nextgen films and presented by Eros International also features Rajeev Khandelwal and Tena Desae in lead roles. Directed by Aditya Datt, the movie has been shot at the picturesque Fiji Islands.
